Le porteur d'histoire #[nn]

A massive, gnarled tree dominates the cover of this French-language graphic novel adaptation, its twisting branches cradling several figures at different heights while another stands alone at the base — a quietly striking image that suggests stories layered across time and perspective. Published by Les Arènes BD in 2016, this is Christophe Gaultier's comics adaptation of Alexis Michalik's celebrated stage work Le porteur d'histoire, and the visual design alone speaks to its theatrical, interwoven ambitions. Readers drawn to richly composed, literary bande dessinée will find this an inviting entry point into a tale that clearly spans many lives and many branches.
